i don’t think that was sarcasm dude. a lot of the gender bias of this case has a lot to do with men’s apathy towards anyone seeing them naked. we just don’t care, or at the very most don’t care when a woman sees us. it takes being bashful and that’s not always considered being a manly trait.

I haven’t seen you give any real reason to hate the guy though. I haven’t read any of the other comment threads all the way through, cause there’s just too many comments to really care. But still. And I’ve personally seen no reason to hate him, except for maybe how he is with Sal…

Oh no! Someone might have an impression of a fictional character that isn’t supported by a forty page essay! Quick, demand justification, before their opinion seems like it might differ from yours and be valid at the same time!

I kinda agree with you. I don’t mind him when he’s with Dorothy, but when by himself I’ve always found him kinda…. meh. Like, my only response to his comics are “Okay…. I don’t care”. I just don’t find him to be very engaging at all and I can’t bring myself to pay attention to him as a main character.

I think it boils down to this :
Walky is even less observant than I am. “Doh-de-doh-de-doh, pointin’ my weenus around, not really takin’ note of anything not weenus-related.”

(True story : the Spouse and I go to Bed Bath and Beyond, and as we’re leaving, she hands me a large, brightly colored pillow in the shape of a trout. I express my surprise, wondering where she got it from. She points out that IT WAS UNDER HER GODDAMNED ARM THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS WITH HER.

The amazing part of the story is that I wasn’t sleeping on the couch that night.)

I’m glad Walky is in the strip. He’s one of the few characters that seems to be immune to drama, so we can get a break from getting our hearts broken. (yeah, he has his arc with Sal going but that’s been pushed to the side nicely)

Yes! This was a very nice break from the sadness of the sinking ship of Ruth/Billie. I needed this lack of sadness. Only thing missing from this strip would be if Sierra delivered her lines while grinning.

Well, not completely immune, he broke up with Dorothy at one point in the comic after all and there is of course the Sal issue bubbling under the surface but he does tend to just fly under the drama radar otherwise.

There are probably thousands of genital slangs, because after the first several hundred, literally anything you say in a suggestive tone accompanied with a pelvic thrust will qualify as a genital slang.

I get dressed after post coitus cuddling, but that’s because I’m a skinny ass, and I get cold otherwise. Walky, however, is still riding high on endorphins by the sound of it, and so was playing around. I imagine Dorothy (who is at her desk under him after all) is rolling her eyes, but smiling just the same. At least until her roomie spoke up.

That reminds me of a line from a sci-fi short story where a man who was literally being a dick got totally humiliated in public by a girl he was trying to freak out by waving his “weenus” at her. “It looks like a man’s penis. Only smaller.”

It’s a Long-Drink story, so it’s being narrated by Jake, but I thought that it’s part of The Callahan Touch, and it isn’t – it’s part of the same cycle of anecdotes that is the “egg on my own face” stories with Tommy’s “Crosstown Buses” story.
(And after a little research, it’s in “Fivesight”, when they’re trying to poke at Jake himself.)

(full disclosure : I’m an INSANELY huge Callahan’s fan, and identify WAY too much with Jake in certain circumstances. Apologies.)

I think I saw that joke in “Isaac Asimov”s Treasury of Humor” (yes, he really did write about everything). 1960s, I think.
“… and THIS, my dear, is a phallus!”
“Oh, I get it! It’s like a prick, but smaller!”

There is absolutely no need to apologize for being a huge Callahan’s fan (said the guy who not only spotted someone playing Jake Stonebender in Champions Online, but also corrected his costume – he wasn’t carrying Lady MacBeth).

Sierra should be glad they kicked her out in the first place. one morning during my freshman year I woke up to my roommate and her boyfriend going at it. Seriously? what the hell? that was one awkward year.

Did you one better. I switched dorms between fall and spring semesters my sophomore year. Went to move into my new room, my very first contact with my new roommate was walking in on him and his girlfriend butt naked. Can you say awkward? Definitely resulted in some weenus shrinkage for him…

General PSA: Neither “weenus” nor any homophone of it is an actual medical term or a term with an agreed-upon meaning. It has been colloquially used to refer to the area between the thumb and forefinger on the hand and to the loose skin over the elbow, and probably other things, but all of those meanings were just assigned to a funny made-up word that sounded like “penis”.

Butt naked in your girlfriend’s bed is much better if she is there too. Hanging out there alone – not so much. Though we aren’t sure Dorothy is wearing anything but Walky’s jacket at this point. Sierra should have given them a little more time to get presentable.

The difference is the spelling. The flap of skin on the elbow is generally spelled with an “i” (weenis); Walky’s name for his John Thomas there is spelled with a “u”. Which of course is totes illogical, since “penis” is also spelled with an “i”.

It’s time to come up with a different word for the elbow flap so that “weenus”, regardless of spelling, can hereafter and evermore refer to the tallywhacker.

Fun fact, English is a descriptive language, not prescriptive. Words mean what people use them to mean. In this case it probably has a dual meaning, though I personally have never encountered it in use with a meaning other than penis.

While it’s true that words mean what their speakers intend, they also mean what their audience perceives. It’s not unheard of for two people talking to eachother to have two different conversations because they understand the words differently.

Dear willis
1) not to be selfcentered but walky and me are super similar from what i have read of him this is awesome but swear if i find out your timetravelling me and u didnt write down tomorrow winning lotto i’ll be mad
2)keep up the good work
